Soldier Field

Wounded soldiers and David H Brooks

It is very difficult for us to imagine what our soldiers go through in a battle field or in the borders of the country. And they take all these pains so that we can sleep peacefully at night feeling ourselves safe. So the least we can do for them is to lend our moral support and understanding. This is exactly what David H Brooks does and much more. Heading a hugely successful business of protective apparel he has started a foundation to help the returning soldiers settle down comfortably in a civil life.

In most cases when soldiers return home wounded they often feel neglected and an outcast in the society. Indeed the soldiers go through a lot of physical and mental challenges in settling down in a civil life after a long tenure in the army. There is after all a huge difference between a civil life and the life of an army man. It is this time when they require our understanding the most to cope with this life. Related to military for a long time helped David H Brooks understand these problems and have developed in him a feeling of sympathetic understanding towards the un-sung heroes of our country.

His eagerness to come to some kind of help to the returning soldiers have led him to start a foundation which provides all sorts of support in settling down like providing financial support one of the most important factors no doubt, providing health care, taking care of required medication and also physiotherapy as per the need and consultation of physicians. Apart from these the foundation also provides counselling services, assist in finding a house and provide support to the families as well. Indeed the family of a wounded soldier also needs counselling and advices in order to understand how to deal with them.

This foundation is a non-profit organization which is run and funded by David H Brooks. Through this organization he has managed to save and improve the lives of thousands of soldiers settle down in life when they return home. Injured or not David H Brooks foundation has touched the hearts and lives of thousands of soldiers through their relentless support.

A lot of information about this noble foundation is available at the website www.davidhbrooks.org.  Army personnel can look for any support or advice at this site. One can come across stories of fellow soldiers and take an inspiration from them or they can find the contact details of the foundation if they find it necessary. Even the friends or family members of a wounded soldier can also get hold of necessary information about the foundation from the website.

Soldier Field $18 Sports fans nationwide know Soldier Field as the home of the Chicago Bears. For decades its signature columns provided an iconic backdrop for gridiron matches. But few realize that the stadium has been much more than that. Soldier Field: A Stadium and Its City explores how this amphitheater evolved from a public war memorial into a majestic arena that helped define Chicago.   Chicago Tribune staff writer Liam Ford led the reporting on the stadium’s controversial 2003 renovation—and simultaneously found himself unearthing a dramatic history. As he tells it, the tale of Soldier Field truly is the story of Chicago, filled with political intrigue and civic pride. Designed by Holabird and Roche, Soldier Field arose through a serendipitous combination of local tax dollars, City Beautiful boosterism, and the machinations of Mayor “Big Bill” Thompson. The result was a stadium that stood at the center of Chicago’s political, cultural, and sporting life for nearly sixty years before the arrival of Walter Payton and William “The Refrigerator” Perry.   Ford describes it all in the voice of a seasoned reporter: the high school football games, track and field contests, rodeos, and even NASCAR races. Photographs, including many from the Chicago Park District’s own collections, capture these remarkable scenes: the swelling crowds at ethnic festivals, Catholic masses, and political rallies. Few remember that Soldier Field hosted Billy Graham and Martin Luther King Jr., Judy Garland and Johnny Cash—as well as Grateful Dead’s final show.   Now part of the city’s bid for the 2016 Olympic Games, Chicago’s stadium on the lake continues to make dramatic history. Soldier Field captures this history in the making and will captivate armchair historians and sports fans alike.
